The Empire Cinema, Cleethorpes c1920.

Opening as the Alexandra Hall Theatre in 1896, the building became the Empire Theatre shortly afterwards in 1900. After becoming the Empire Cinema from 1913 until 1946 it reopened as a theatre. A number of well-known stars appeared there. Today the building is an amusement centre featuring laser games.
